Quoting gatorinla
i took a short 2056.. i need to close it, if L closes 2068+. thinking 2074 may be enough. it looks bullish and is bullish. but i think it needs to close above 2068 to continue..
i have 2068 as needing a close above for bulls to continue. so for now it may act as R.. atm high 2066
those who can, do. those who cant, talk about those who can

{quote} it could close 2068+ tomorrow. today closed higher than yesterday and above 1.2001 and last weeks 1.2007. A bullish sign. but the week ends tomorrow not today. it may challenge 2068 in the next 24 hours. but the end result needs to be, a higher close, to go higher. already being atm at 2045 doesn't leave a bunch of pips unless it screams north w/o drawdown. Even if so 2101 may still be R.. that's about 55 pips higher.. on the other hand if 2068 close wasn't achieved. i can see 1822 or 1746... holding my short for this reason....
looking bullish.. day needs a close above 2068 is my bet. still using the r/r for a drop. i may be totally wrong.

i should say 2069+ needed for bulls close tomorrow. anything above 2001 and 2007 could be too.. less likely below 2001 for bulls to make a move.

You put everything in 1 post again! Great !
I have 2 choices:
1. I think it could give a spike down to around 2001 zone then shoot up for the rest of the day might be to 216ish.
2. If the news push this drop down below 2001 30-50 pips, I will see you there at 1822, 2026(weekly open, below that we could see a bears run)
How do you think about my idea Gator?
that is just what I am thinking right now!
I am still short for 1822 with hard stop closes above 2101, is that a good exit plan?

Edited: it looks unlikely for week closes below 2001/2026
I think I will try to get out at small loss or be if I have change at pre-events
Will jump in short if it go lower than 2001 at the retrace
Angelina. I am with you u shorting eurusd. In fact I have short since lst year but getting worse. good luck to u and everyone.

Ok, thank you, same to you too! Gator is shorting too!
I have small one so I can eat a loss just above 2101 not really hurt my account.
I probably add another little one around 2090.
Thing can changes, so I need to see how Friday closes to know it will go 216ish/25ish first or 1822 first!
angelina. so far I have shorted 50 lots eurusd. in deep shit. btw, are you a singaporean?

HockMan, I hope you are fine, but how huge is your account. Basically everything you shorted has gone north by a lot and you claim you are shorting big lots...

You must be a multi-millionaire!

If you have a decent account 20m or more, you are in DD 600k is not really bad which is around 3% DD
I think you already knew how to manage your leverage already
Just a reminder,
Most of successful traders, they just wana make 30%-100% per year based on their original account. (30% of 100k = 30k/year, still good enough for living already)
For example, I have 95k on Jan-2017 and ended up 12-31-2017 with 200k, so I got 100% there
Now, I am planing to end up 2018 with 50%-100% which is 300k-400k
You and I must have a deadline(hard or soft stop loss) for every trades. I saw you have a soft one since you start cutting loss, that would be good.
Keep following Gator, you will be reach your goal like mine.
I've seen many great traders all over the net but Gator is the best one overall.
Sometimes he got it wrong but it is ok b/c the market condition has changed, he will switch back to the right one right away and we are ok
Hope it can help you and a reminder for me also !
We are here for helping others !
